Be it known that I, Lnwrs HENRY JAooBY, a citizen of the United States,residing at Goshen, in the county of Elkhart and State of Indiana, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Draft-Equalizers; and Ido declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description ofthe invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference markedthereon, which form a part of this specification.

Myinvention relates to draft-equalizers; and it consists in theconstruction and novel combination of parts, as hereinafter described,and pointed out in the claim.

Referring by letter to the accompanying drawings, G designates adouble-tree, which is provided with a straight portion, 1 intermediate0f the forwardly-projecting inclined portions I J. The double-tree isprovided with holes H for adapting it to be connected with the clevis,and on each side of the holes H the double-tree is bored throughlaterally along the inclines KK. At the front and rear ends of theinclined bores K K are pulleysB F and O E, and at the ends of thedouble-tree are the pulleys A and D.

Chains L M are passed over pulleys A D, thence along the rear edge ofthe double-tree, over pulleys O E, then forward through the inclinedbores K K, and over the pulleys B F at the front of the double-tree. Thechains L M are provided at their front ends with hooks S, which areattached directly to the traces of the harness, no single-trees beingused in this connection.
